I don't believe Ford only cares about cost and not quality. If that was the case they would not be in business very long. Let alone one of the top auto manufacturers in the world.
Otherwise, every business that wants to remain competetive in the world market shops around for the lowest bidders.
If Ford only cared about cost, they would not have been installing switches that cut power to the electric fuel pumps in a collision on all of their models since at least 1987.
